"Alright, it''s settled then. Transferring your assets through a divorce is safe, and no one will suspect a thing. After all, the York family, the Campbell family, and ra have lost a lot because of you. It''s only fair to


    compensate them appropriately."


    The two of them then finalized the details of the divorce agreement.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Just then, Dawson came over and handed the divorce agreement ton. "Mr. Hayes, we''ve found the cause of the explosion."


    lan looked up and asked, "Was it a time bomb?"


    "Yes, it''s one of thetest miniature bombs. No bigger than a steel te, but its lethal range extends to about thirty feet. This device was hidden inside a locket Liana gave to the child. ording to the video, Ms. ra wanted to tidy up, but she was interested in the beautiful locket and gave it a few more nces. Luckily, Mr. Casey noticed something was off, grabbed the locket, and ran to the yard. Otherwise, Ms. ra and the child''s lives would''ve been in danger."


    Hearing this,n clenched his fists tightly. Katherine had given ra that locket long ago. Ian hadn''t realized Connor had set up this trap so far in advance.


    Connor always wanted ra and the child''s lives because he knew that only ra and the child were whatn cared about the most. Taking away someone''s most cherished ones was far more aggressive than killing them.


    Very well, he would definitely settle this ount with Connor properly.


    The next morning, ra was awakened by a loud noise in her dreams. Following that, she felt blood flowing beneath her, and her father was covered in blood from the explosion.


    ra suddenly opened her eyes, only to seen''s face, which bore the marks of time. She immediately knew something was wrong and ced her hand on her stomach.


    When she felt her stomach had deted, she watchedn in panic, her voice trembling, n, where''s the baby?"


    lan didn''t speak and just gently stroked her head with hisrge hand. His voice was hoarse. "ra, there will be more opportunities for children in the future. What''s most important now is that you recover. Your father is seriously injured and unconscious. He''s waiting for you to wake him."


    Althoughn didn''t specify what happened to the child, ra understood the implication in his words. She stared at him incredulously. "It can''t be. I shielded him with a cushion. He can''t be gone,n. Are you lying to me?"


    As she spoke, tears were already


    sliding down her cheeks.n gently


    wiped her tears away, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at her. "ra TM''m sorry I failed to protect you and our child. You can hit me, yett at me, just don''t hurt yourself, okay?"


    n, I need to see the child. If he''s alive, I want to see him; if he''s dead, I want to see his body. I don''t believe he''s gone."


    As she spoke, she tried to sit up in bed, butn pressed her down. "ra, you''ve broken two ribs. It''s not good for you to move around if you want to see him, I can take you there. But you have to promise me that after seeing him, no load crying of making a scene, okay?


    ra''s mind was nk. She couldn''t believe this was true. She felt it must ben trying to surprise her.


    She nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I promise you."


    lan carried ra to a separate room, where a small wooden boxy.


    The wooden box was beautiful, adorned with many patterns, but inside the wooden boxy a newborn baby, silent. The baby was tiny, only about twelve inches long, and his features clearly resembled ra''s. At that moment, all of ra''s fantasies shattered. Shey over the wooden box, overwhelmed with grief.
